Offensive Player of the Week
Addie Reilly,
Fairfield, So., Attack, 5-6, Locust
Valley, N.Y./Portledge
Reilly paced the Stags offense in a 13-6 opening day win
with five points. She struck for four goals, including the game-winning
tally, as well as an assist. Her first goal made the score 2-0, while her
assist pushed the Stags first-half advantage to 4-1. She tallied the
game-winner with 18:44 to play. Her third goal came 3:11 later, unassisted, to
make it 9-3 and her free position shot with 2:14 to play, rounded out the Stag
scoring.
Defensive Player of the Week
Katie Keenan,
Fairfield, Jr., Goalkeeper, 5-7, Wantagh, N.Y.
Keenan was a dominate force in cage for the Stags, as she
played every second of the game. She stopped nine shots, with five of
those coming in the first-half, as Fairfield built a three-goal lead that it
would not relinquish. Three of her four second half saves came in
preventing Monmouth from cutting into the Stags advantage. All three of
her ground balls also came in the second-half. Keenan also caused a
turnover in the victory.
Rookie of the Week
Courtney Chmil,
Fairfield, Fr., Midfielder, 5-8, Garden City, N.Y./Our Lady of Mercy
Chmil made her first collegiate start in her Fairfield debut
on Saturday and didn't leave the field once, making an immediate impact for the
Stags. The rookie had a team-high five ground balls, while also
leading the squad with four draw controls - both of which were game-highs.
